Understanding Commercial Property Underwriting and "COPE" (A 2-Part Series) For nearly 300 years, real property underwriters have been using the same four basic elements of underwriting data: Construction, Occupancy, Protection and Exposure ("COPE"). Each of these four basic data points plays an important part in the property underwriting process. This two-part series offers a unique perspective of each of these data points. Anyone writing property insurance will benefit from this class. Part 1: Thursday, Dec. 8 Part 2: Thursday, Dec. 15 Time: 1:30pm ET / 10:30am PT Duration: 1 Hour Click Here to Register What you will learn in this webinar: Construction: Students will learn how to determine the property construction class (1-6); why size matters; and how age affects the underwriting decision. We will also discuss mixed-construction issues. Occupancy: In addition to occupancy issues, how a particular insured's hazards associated with occupancy will be discussed. Protection: Sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, alarm systems, fire doors and fire walls and public fire protection are the primary protection mechanisms evaluated by underwriters. The basics of each are discussed in the class. Exposure: What external factors affect the insured property? Some of these exposures are discussed in this section of the course.
